Harry 209 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Have been doing some research into this important matter by watching the 95-96 season review VHS. First minute shows Ferdinand pre season wearing a thus far unheard of variation with 'adidas' at the top of the number 9: Minutes later we see the first game of the season against Coventry - no 'adidas' text on the numbers: Next game is Bolton away and the first outing for the away shirt - again no 'adidas' text: In conclusion, it seems the 'adidas' text was never present on any matchworn shirt.

Harry 209 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 We also have evidence of official shirts printed at the club shop in 1995 using both a shiny plastic and a felt/flock material, and namesets could be either individual letters or a single piece. So the shiny plastic all in one namesets without 'adidas' that you can buy now at the club shop are actually period correct for getting on the remake shirt when it's released.

Expand Be canny nice to get the remake with the period correct name sets tbf. Still unsure wether this remake is a legit remake, as in the promo shots the material on the shirt looks pretty thin/mesh-like. Still sure(like 80%) the original was a thicker material.

SEMTEX Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Name and number printing in the 90s was the Wild West. Pretty sure I got half mine done at Florida Print so god knows if they were using legit numbers or something they crafted themselves. Either way, I was widely accepted as being cool as fuck, so it's fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand All well and good but I donāt think Newcastle have ever done this before and we can all have our own opinions itās pure greed and a money grab by adidas. Itās exactly the same stuff as the burgundy and white ones but in black and itās probably the same price while only being relevant for half the time.

I'd say money grab if we had another home kit or away kit second half of the season, but training wear I don't have the slightest issue with. Seems a sensible way to boost revenue mid-season.

bowlingcrofty Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Thereās no sponsors on the training gear so it wonāt end up old with an old sponsor, itās not tied to a particular season really - itās just nice adidas x NUFC gear.

Just because you donāt buy it coz itās the ālatestā gear itās daft to suggest others donāt. Course itās a money grab as someone pointed out Adidas are doing it with all their elite clubs. Itāll be something that soon becomes the norm. itās literally the same as the burgundy & the white one. Why not release it at the same time?
